runsat (born navmi!)

After a brief pause…. there’s a new release

Currently this release is Beta – there are a few major changes and I want feedback on how these work!

http://www.runsaturday.com/runsat/release/runsat_1_1_1.CAB

The changes are:

Major:
- changes to the GPS processing:
—- Samples are now checked for horizontal accuracy (default is that 50m accuracy is required)
—- Smoothing has been removed
—- Speed is now calculated on the raw data
- changes to the charting – as I said this was done by a separate developer – he’s added some background numbers and some options to change the display and the zoom…
- the name! runsat rather than navmi – more changes still needed here!

Minor:
- additions to GPX files – speed (Metres Per Second as per GPX spec) – as per requests
- additions to KML files – some lap waypoints, some summary information – as per requests
- change of the “pause” button – so it’s a bit more distinctive when pressed
There’s also an example language file (English) at http://www.runsaturday.com/runsat/release/example.lang.xml – I’ve already got an offer for German – will see what else comes along and will include these in future releases. To use this, you need to edit the contents, rename it to e.g. klingon.lang (not with “.xml”) and then place it in the runsat directory – it will then appear within Settings->Languages

As I said, I’m a bit concerned about some of the major changes at present. They seem to work well for me – but I’d like some more users to test them – just in case other phones or other GPS units work significantly differently.

Let me know how you get on – either here, on Talk on runsaturday.com or on the xda developers forum

Thanks again to H for helping out with the new charting code.

Navmi is proud to send it’s data to runSaturday for online use.

And the latest changes over on runSaturday include things like this blog view and great 3D playback of your activities.

If you are a Navmi user and you join runsaturday, please sign up to the “navmi” group on runsaturday – http://www.runsaturday.com/Explore/Groups – that way we can all find each other!

Happy sports!

In the last month we’ve been working on QA – especially on satisfying the requirements for the Microsoft and Samsung app store markets.

The result is 1.0.4.

This release:

• Addresses a number of small problems found – especially with running builds on devices Internationally
• Includes new hard button support – now all of your hard buttons should work!
• Includes some improvements in runsaturday integration

As soon as this QA work is complete, we have some very exciting plans for the next stage

Hi Again

Back again with some fixes rather than new functions.

I’ve tried to add to navmi:
- AppToDate support (see http://www.apptodate.org/get and http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/ for more information)
- some tweaks for power control – especially on HDC WinMo devices.

Thanks again all for the feedback – it all helps to keep making navmi better

0.4.4 is now available.

Minor changes made are:
- some protection on the course/filename dialog – no longer able to crash the app by choosing an empty course name
- some additional protection added on , versus . string representations of numbers (I hope!) – so KML and GPX exports should now work on , based number locales
- lots of overhaul in the way the UI is displayed – especially to allow app minimisation support – this is mainly for the Samsung Omnia at present – need to understand more about button mappings on other devices!
- use of external photo album viewer on Samsung Omnia device.

And here’s one of my traces from skiing:

Next week we’re going to Tignes to do some serious testing.

In preparation for this, we’ve downloaded the OpenPisteMap maps for the area – here they are inside Navmi:

There’s lots of snow there – but it is going to be cold!

Can’t wait

It snowed in London!

So it was the perfect opportunity to take 0.4.3 out for some GPS and photo action
